    I don't have much to say about this book, other than it was fine for what it was. It wasn't great, it wasn't horrible. There were some parts I thought unnecessary, and it was hard to connect with any of the characters.

  • Recs for book resources

    Besides KU, Libby and Hoopla, where do you get/borrow your books? I think I'm 100% done with Amazon. My only problem is some of the books I like to read are not available on Libby and Hoopla that's why I stuck with KU. I would love to buy the physical book but my wallet can't afford it. 🥲

  • Book you absolutely hate

    There are a lot of questions about book recommendations or favorites, but what is the book(s) you absolutely feel repulsed by whenever you see it? Just want to add: i know everyone has their own tastes and that does not mean if one hated the book the other shouldn't has terrible taste, it is the matter of personal opinion. What doesn't sit well with me might be perfect for you :) this is just for fun and to know you all a lot better

    I was really not a fan of this book. The characterization was inconsistent and their development was lacking. There was way too many Shakespeare quotes in casual conversation for me to find believable. Oliver and Meredith's relationship, and Oliver's sister's eating disorder seemed unnecessary for the plot. I had predicted the "plot twist" very early on, and only kept reading to see what exactly had happened (I was also holding out hope that I was wrong). I found it very strange how they were all just fine with Richard dying, even if he was a terrible person.

  • Author you run to buy their next book?

    Any author you would run off and get their newest release? I basically just started to read for fun again and would love to hear which authors you guys are in love with! Currently I have really enjoyed Stephanie Garber’s work, it’s just so whimsical while not adding too much smut. I enjoy how she writes your romance and being swept away in her world she presents us. As for when I was younger, I was a big Diana Wynne Jones fan. Similar reason to Stephanie but a bit more age appropriate when I was in my early teens.

    Thoughts from 23% (End of Act 1)

    I was fully prepared to not care for this book, and was kind of indifferent toward it until the Macbeth play. I've learned I really don't like theatre-related stuff, but performances are fine. I was also wondering if it's just a normal thing for thespians to quote things in everyday conversation, or if it's just these characters.

  • What’s on your Holds list at the Library

    What is on everyone’s Holds list at their library or on their library app like Libby and Hoopla? My library allows 10 holds on Libby, but often has really long waits. I was scrolling through available titles and there are so many good books releasing and just not enough hold slots for me 🥹 Right now I have these 10 books on hold. The Amalfi Curse Heartless Hunter The Measure Our Infinite Fates Wild And Wrangled Great Big Beautiful Life Hester We’ll Prescribe You A Cat The Once Future Witches Emily Wildes Compendium of Lost Tales

  • What are your audiobook recommendations?

    In terms of the actual audiobook experience. I love when an audiobook can completely immerse me into a story. Sometimes it's not even about anything extra (but admittedly this really captures my attention!), but just the narrators themselves just doing a spectacular job. Or even when the author themselves is the narrator. Some of my favourite audiobooks: * The Inexplicable Logic of My Life (this is one of my favourite books which I'm sure I've already mentioned 😅, but part of that I attribute to how much I love the audiobook) * Lovely War * Daisy Jones & the Six * A Good Girl's Guide to Murder * Mrs Death Misses Death * I Killed Zoe Spanos

  • Total pages read this year so far

    So I was curious since I'm doing the tandem read of Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn, how many pages I've read this year. I know this can vary depending on the print vs ebook, since I primarily read ebooks I used those counts. I also included the 88% of the tandem I've read so far. Shortest Book: A Court of Frost and Starlight at 229 pages Longest Book: The Priory of the Orange Tree at 848 pages Total Pages YTD: 12,282 (Technically the tandem will be the longest when it's done at 1380 if I consider it one book) Bonus word count YTD (estimate): 4,368,800 🤯

  • Adaptation

    I was thinking about that the other day and I’m actually wondering what book y’all would be interested to see adapted on screen?
